Biocoral – ein alternativer Knochenersatz

Abstract: Biocoral is a biomaterial derived from natural corals, and it has surgical applications. Since 1992 the author has been using this material as a bone graft substitute in maxillofacial surgery. Seventy-seven clinical implantations were done for different indications. The results suggest that coral grafts are well tolerated and become partially ossified when the calcified skeleton is resorbed. This material has been demonstrated to be successful.

“…Coral and nacre, biocompatible and bioactive biomaterials have been often used as bone substitutes for their quality: no transmission of infections like AIDS, hepatitis C [1,2], biocompatibility [3], osteoconduction [4], and high-speed of resorption [5]. Besides, nacre has exceptional mechanical properties attributed to its hierarchical structure [6][7][8] and molecular interactions with the mineral-organic interface [9][10][11].…”

“…16,19,20,32,35,46,50 Because of their bioactive properties and porous structure, these implants support bone ingrowth as a osteoconductive scaffold and, thus, small defects can even be bridged completely. The formation of a physiochemical compound between ceramic and bone 7,17 is a basic requirement for stable integration.…”

“…Coral skeletons have been used as bone substitutes in surgery for the last 28 years but it was not until the 1990s that it became commercially available as Biocoral and Interpore [168,169,170,171,172]. A pioneering idea for harnessing coralline materials in medicine came from White et al in 1972 with an innovative process for transforming and generating high fidelity copies of marine skeletons such as coral [51].…”
